Best single-malt Scotch...

I have to give credit to Redwiki for the inspiration to start this thread. Yes, certain malts better compliment certain music or certain moods. Of the fifteen or so different malts in my cabinet right now, my favorites are: Aberlour "Antique", similar to the popular Macallan, but not as syrupy; a bit drier, light hearted and less complicated; great with Mozart and Brubeck. Mortlach "Limited Edition" cask strength. Powerful, smoky, mysterious. Great with Bartok, Berg and late 'Trane. Loch Morar 25 yr old. Incredibly complex and intense, with a hint of honey and flowers. Great with Poulenc, Stravinsky and Bill Evans. Any other single-malt aficionados out there?

A drinking time question, dear malt pals: late afternoon, before~, after dinnner... when do you have yr first of the day?? With me it's usually late a/noon & before dinner, or after dinner (the best). Before dinner: Lafroiagg with Brahms (1&2 Piano Concertos -- Curzon recommended), Sibelius, J Hendrix, JL Hooker (should've been drinking rye here)... After dinner: Aberlour (music ditto Frogman + Bach), Lagavulin (Alexc -- I'm with you).
Cheers -- i'm off to access that site, thanks Sdcampbell!

It`s horrible to see folks adding ice into fine single malt...
The best has to be single malt in a cocktail. Yuk!

As a result of this thread, Lagavulin prices have gone up. I propose we boycott for the next 15days, see if Diageo takes pity on us.
